I'm a white shoes man too! Great in the summer! But in winter you just have to clean them more often, I usually clean mine once a week, soft nail brush and water, get all the dirt off, then apply some whitener polish stuff I got for my trainers, keeps them looking bright! I was gonna try some clear dubbin or bees wax but I've never got round to it!

I use saddle soap. Saddle soap isn't specific for white shoes, but obviously the before and after is the most dramatic on white.

Insightful personal hygiene point. Have a separate toothbrush for your shoes. Do not use the one you have for your teeth.

Also, it you get nicks in the toes of your white shoes, fill in the nicks with liquid white-out. Then, if the shoes have leather or cloth uppers, you can try some white shoe polish - liquid brush-on looks the best, but paste polish would stretch out the water-proofing.

This is the reason I made the switch to black shoes.... I was so anal trying to keep my white ones white. I will never go back to white again.... I guess the saying is true, once you go black....

That saying is true by the way, just ask my wife. But anyway if Im wearing my white shoes I try to clean them as soon as I can after my round. I only use soap and water and it seems to work ok enough. I'll look into this toothpaste thing.
